'She can't be under pressure.'

Cloete said after several surgeries her mother was up and about, and picking up the pieces of her life.

“Leratong Hospital has done the skin graft and the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital has operated on her eye so they can restore her eyesight.The family has rallied around Van Rooyen. “My sister and I decided we were happy that we had another chance to be together as a family and help her and experience the love. We are doing all this to the best of our ability,” Cloete said.When TimesLIVE visited Randfondtein after the ordeal, various people who had known Van Rooyen painted a picture of how she had tried to get a job but failed. She had handed in her CV at a local shop, hoping to get a security job.

Cloete said her mother had since been declared medically unfit to work and was making peace with the fact that she would live off a social grant.The family has since left Randfontein, which holds painful memories for them. They are now living in Limpopo, where Cloete is optimistic about their future
